Wednesday 12th March
Today was a busy day with clients, then back for BACK training and my first stint at my 30 min cardio session and then back on duty as site manager. A good productive day and I am feeling my BACK coming on as I am typing - good stuff!
I started with 3 sets of chins, neutral grip and then 2 sets wide grip. I had a lot more energy training in the afternoon and I was really looking forward to chins today. Then it was downstairs to the power room for reverse grip bent over rows, I did a 12/10/8/ and (8) strip set, it was hard but good and I got some good reps out, the strip set was a ‘perfect demonstration’ set. Then it was back upstairs to the seated row machine, but with a very wide grip handled bar, this was to also concentrate on pulling my rear delts out, 3 sets of 15 reps. 2 sets of 15 reps with dumbell pullovers. Jon spotted and coached me through the routine today which was great, and I was left to do calves on my own, 3 sets of 50 reps with 2 plates aside today.
Winners 2000 Torquay has had 3 new treadmills delivered and 2 bikes from Star Trac, so my uphill walk was on a new treadmill today with the Rocky soundtrack. A client of mine Chantel has just come back from a trip to New York and it was nice, as the soundtrack reminds me of running up 5th Ave to Central Park on my very first visit. I want to visit New York for a 4th time soon. I love it!
Today received the Body Fitness Rules from Wanda at the UKBFF, got to wear black closed toe and closed heel shoes (stilletto pumps) nice!!! for the pre-judging two-piece, so now got to go shopping with Helen for some new shoes. Still that’s the rules! Hope I get to wear my ’stripper shoes’ to the finals, that’s what they all wear in the States, we will have to wait and see.
Helen is in the latest issue of FLEX & BODY FITNESS this month, great article on her, 4 pages long. It’s great to see her get some recognition. Lets hope people hit all our sites and see how hard we work and how hard Simon works for us and the gym.
